Long-term, it seems possible that wikidata might end up as the primary way to make these cross-reference connections, but that depends on the future evolution of both osm and of wikidata. Short- and medium-term, existing wikipedia tagging is not going to be deprecated or automatically replaced, services will probably continue to make use of it, and it has some advantages (such as readability). I don't think we should "expect" both to be used, but it should be no problem if both are applied to a particular object.
